ViSoft Premium offers to export unique tile pieces in DXF format for use with CNC water cutter control.

To access this function:

  1. Go to Output -> Partlist -> Tile.

  2. In the “Reused Tiles” column, click the information button.

  3. The “Tile Offcuts” dialogue will open.

Select the desired method of tile reuse, then click “Export to CAD File.” Browse to the folder where you want to save the tile offcuts in DXF format or create a new folder. Click OK.

A new folder, named after the exported tile’s brand and order number, will be created automatically in the selected location.

In this folder, you will find a “Cuts” folder containing a list of tiles with offcuts in DXF format, identical to those in the “Tile Offcuts” window (except the first one, which is not cut). The file names include two numbers: the first digit represents the order, and the second digit indicates the quantity of tiles with those offcuts.

The “Cuts” folder contains individual unique cuts in DXF format. Each file name includes the unique ID number of the cut (first digit) and the number of cuts (second digit). The same unique ID numbers are also marked on the cuts in the ViSoft “Tile Offcuts” dialogue.

If the project contains different tiles, you can export all of them together into a CAD file.
Use the menu File → Export → Export Tile Cuts to CAD File.
In this case, multiple folders named after the tile brand and order number will be created automatically in the root folder

Import GLTF objects

The GLTF Import function allows users to import GLTF (Graphics Library Transmission Format) 3D objects directly into ViSoft. This feature ensures that the imported models maintain good quality materials, textures and detailed accuracy, preserving the visual integrity of the original design.

Kitchen

Kitchen module

With the introduction of the kitchen planning, the interface can be configured to see only those elements needed for the specific planning area: kitchen, bathroom, tiling, sanitary and interior design. The reduction of visible libraries and function buttons offers a good overview and enables faster working.

The planning should start with base cabinets, then wall cabinets and at the end tall cabinets. There are two ways of finding the desired cabinet: Beginners can use filters by selecting the type and sizes or directly type in the order number. The placing can be done by drag and drop or better with double click in the side browser or basket.

The 3D elements plinth, worktop, niche element and ceiling filler are generated automatically. Part lists, plans and perspectives are also generated automatically. 35 options can influence the appearance and price of a planned kitchen. Once a kitchen has been planned, these 35 options can be changed and the kitchen can look completely different. Groups of electrical objects can be exchanged with one selection.

The designer creates a first proposal after entering the room and answering 6 questions.

A planning can be saved in kitchen templates and later transferred to another room.

Automatic animation of doors and drawers in 3D
